More money will be available next year to spend on historic preservation, affordable housing, and open spaces in Springfield, Massachusetts thanks in large part to the state’s booming residential real estate market.
The budget for the Community Preservation Act program will be $2.26 million. That is almost $400,000 more than this year’s CPA fund.
WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with Bob McCarroll, chairman of the Springfield Community Preservation Committee.
